The Long Game

Your super is
working.
But for whom?

A plain-English checklist for Australians who want to understand their superannuation.

Most Australians have superannuation. Most have never checked what option they're in, what they're paying in fees, or what they're actually on track to retire with.

This checklist takes 20 minutes. Five sections. All you need is your fund's online portal.

What's inside — Five sections

Find your fund and log in — confirm your details and check contributions are arriving
Understand your investment option — what you're actually invested in and whether it suits your stage of life
Understand what you're paying — calculate your fees in dollar terms, not just percentages
Check your insurance cover — what you have, what it costs, and whether it matches your needs
Consolidate and optimise — lost accounts, duplicate fees, and the levers most people never use

Who put this together

I'm John Pontikas — a licensed market adviser with 26 years of financial markets experience. My career began in the 1990s, led to institutional practice at ABN AMRO Morgans, and in 2011 I founded my own boutique advisory firm. I've traded ASX stocks, futures, currencies, commodities, and options across multiple market cycles.

I built The Long Game because most Australians want to understand their superannuation but have never had a clear, simple way to do it. This checklist is where that changes.
